IDUG DB2 Tech Conference in Phoenix, Arizona

Today's blog post is just a quick one to remind everybody about the 2014 IDUG DB2 Tech Conference coming up next week in Phoenix, Arizona. As usual, there will be a plethora of useful information shared at the conference - as well as the opportunity to meet with developers, gold consultants and DBAs/developers from all over the country... and even the world!There are complimentary workshop sessions scheduled for Friday on a variety of topics and you will probably also want to sign up for one of the educational seminars on Monday. And don't forget to take advantage of the free IBM certification exams offered up at every IDUG conference.This year's keynote presentation will be delivered by noted Gartner analyst Donald Feinberg, who is responsible for Gartner's research on database management systems, data warehousing infrastructure and Big Data.And just check out the impressive agenda of DB2 presentations that will be available at this year's IDUG! Add to all of the above an array of Special Interest Groups, the DB2 z/OS and LUW panel sessions (where you can ask questions of the developers), and let's not forget the vendor exhibition where you can check out the latest products and services for DB2... and it all adds up to IDUG being the place to be next week if you have anything to do with DB2. I know I'll be there......and I hope to see you there, too.
